censor: fix things around inlining The temporary revlog cannot go through the inline → split process as this would break at transaction commit. (that might be fixable, but lets keep things simple for now). We introduce a cleaner way to enforce this as the previous one was broken in 6.6 On the way we remove multiple weird, fragile and broken overwrite of revlog attributes and we focus on passing the configuration across. We also had to update the test to actually create a non-inline revlog.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
